Headlamp Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation



Headlamp Power Wash Jet Assembly (Retracted and extended)

Headlamp Powerwash Jet Assembly:





Some markets and options have a headlamp telescopic power wash mounted below each lamp glass. These washers will operate in conjunction with the screen-washers, when the headlights are on dip or main beam, or daylight running is enabled, the washer fluid does not indicate low level, and the ignition switch is in position II.

When wash/wipe is selected and held, the headlamp wash pump is activated and sprays for 800 ms, waits 6 seconds and then sprays again. This spray is repeated after each six second interval until the switch is released or 20 seconds has elapsed. When the switch is released, further power wash cycles will be inhibited for the next 5 wash/wipe operations to conserve wash fluid.

All power wash fittings are snap fit, cover to jet, jet to headlamp, jet to hose. The wash/wipe system is operated from switches on the steering column via the Body Processor Module (BPM), part of the SCP network.
